I can't cite the source but it is true. I have seen several articles and even TV documentaries on this subject. A moderate valcano eruption will spew more CO2 than man has in our entire existence. As someone pointed out CO2 about .03% of the atmosphere so even a 10% increase is negligible. Besides that the science shows that in periods past, the earth has had mcuh more CO2. At the same time, it was a much lusher and greener place. Plants thrive on CO2.
Research Biosphere 2. They made a boneheaded mistake when they built it. They did not let the concrete cure long enough. The result is that the concrete absorbed more oxygen that was planned. This in turn caused an increse is CO2. Humans began to act disoreinted, but the plants THRIVED. The atmosphere inside was equivalent to about 18,000 foot altititude. The irony is that the 'warmers' all claim that what is going to happen is that the crops wont grow and mankind will starve, or as the oh so eloquent Ted Turner says, will become cannibals because we wont have anything to eat.
If you are going to disicuss "glogal warming' you MUST work in geological terms, i.e. EONS. We have accurate weather records for about 100 years or so, which is a fracrtion of eons. The Earth has been around for about 450 million years, (sorry to all you 'creationists", but facts are facts) and the only constant in all that time is that the climate has changed. It will continue to change. When it stops is when I will worry
You can ask one question of any 'warmist' that will shut them up. Simply ask them "so what is the ideal temp for Earth?" I have asked MANY of them, ( some who read this site regularly) and not ONE of them has even offered an answer. The reason is they can't, because nobody knows. Ideal temp is different to different organisims. Mankind has yet to even identifiy all the different species on the planet, so how can we pretend to know what temp is best for all?
